ASM GmbH has
expanded its innovative line of POSIROT&REG; angular position
sensors with the introduction of a new magnetic angle sensor
in a 20 mm (0.8 in.) flat, 36 mm (1.4 in.) diameter servo flange
housing. PRAS2 is a dependable, contact-free and wear-free sensor
that utilizes an external permanent magnet to measure complete
angular position from 0° to 360° with a typical resolution
of 0.1°.

PRAS2 models
are available with three different analog outputs: 4-20 mA, 0.5-4.5
V and 0.5-10V. The angle measurement circuitry is shielded from
external environment conditions. It has also been designed to
be highly shock- and vibration-resistant.

With its low
20 mm (0.8 in.) height, this new compact model, PRAS2, can be
quickly installed without requiring much space.

Since this sensor
is in a rugged IP 68 stainless steel housing, it can reliably
handle the toughest industrial environments and makes it suitable
for many applications such steering and tilt angle measurement
on mobile construction equipment.
